Don't know if the Monarchy Audio DIP is still of any value in a modern digital setup. Isn't it simple enough to remove it from the chain and listen to determine your preference?
Advice regarding a possible upgrade DAC (and does the DIP help SQ)
Hello and Seasons Greetings,
I am seeking advice here regarding a possibility of upgrading to a newer DAC ( under 2K, new or used). I currently have the following setup:
A Cat6 cable from my cable router to a Blusound Node2i to a MONARCHY AUDIO 24/92 DIP to BelCanto DAC2 to MFA MAGUS A2 Tube Preamplifier to Meitner MTR Monoblocks to a pair of BOZAK Urban Speakers.
I enjoy an eclectic variety of music and thus far think I have very good SQ but I wonder if a more modern DAC would be a welcome addition and a plus to SQ?
Also do I need the Monarchy DIP with a modern DAC?
My source at the minute is Amazon Music HD (I have a nice vinyl collection and want to add a TT at some point when my budget allows and that’s for another post
Thank you
Bill
